BSB-ALD Main line hasnt got pole erected yet & i dunno about the electrification completion!!
As far as travel timing in between ASR-MGS via MB-BE-LKO-SLN-BSB Trunk route is concerned, nothing extra-ordinary will happen, until LKO-SLN-BSB Track is 100% doubled (its some 55% Double yet)
PS: Shramjeevi is mostly in-time or before while returning from NDLS to Rajgir @ LKO.
It get late for 1-2...

hours till SLN (Total 140 km from LKO, 75 km single traction).
LKO-BSB Stretch makes train late for 2-4 hours, if they get into single track @ conjested timing!!

Mr. Vinay , any idea about the Doubling Status of BSB - ALD Route ?? I have heard that this route is via Jhangai Jn - Gyanpur Road - Allahabad City (ALN ?) . Just like trains go from MGS to ALD usually via Mirzapur (MZP ?) as it's a shorter route compared to via BSB - Kashi , similarly a shorter route should be designed between Mirzapur & Lucknow , so that "Superfast" trains like Himgiri Exp or Punjab Exp can use it like a Superfast Corridor Bypass Line . Like this time can be saved by avoiding the slow speed MGS - BNS - SLN - LKO Line . Such a Superfast Rail Corridor can be built on the lines of the Sarona Bypass which HWH - CSTM Duronto Exp uses to avoid touching Raipur Jn . This rail corridor should not have a single station & should be...

a Double Track Fully Electrified Route with tracks suitable for 170 Kmph Speed Tolerance . Another such route suitable for such type of a corridor can be between Gomoh Jn and Patna Saheb . By this , trains can avoid the slow & robbery proned Jasidih - Madhupur Route . Another route can be between Dankuni & Panagarh to avoid Bardhamman (BWN) . Thanks .

Can u create any corridor for Mirjapur-LKO. It would have to cross BSB-ALD & will have to merge with ALD-RBL-LKO Route somewhere (which is much longer than existing route, with low MPS)
Further, MGS-SLN-LKO Route is Trunk Route & its slow, coz its single & heavily conjested in peak times!!

(PNBE-MTJ Exp) - Passenger departed 15 mins before its arrival
Travel Time: 4 hrs.
SLN-Shivnagar - 30 Km: 1 Hour (Halted Shivnagar for 30 Minutes to give crossing to Varuna)
Shivnagar-Sindurva - 30 Km: 1.5 Hour (Halted 45 Min @ Sindurva & Passenger arrived from front & halted. ASR-KOAA overtook that passenger & crossed PNBE-MTJ Exp from front)
Sindurva-Dilkusha Outer - 70 Km: 45 Minutes (Halted Dilkusha for 30 Min, overtooked passenger in-between)
Dilkusha-Lko - 10 Km: 45 Minutes (Halted LKO Outer for 25 Min)
Result: Missed Duranto (filed TDR) & Travelled Shramjeevi (Following PNBE-MTJ Exp) with unreserved ticket, charged & receipt issued later on (3A/2A/1A was totally empty in Shramjeevi - No-one boarded @ LKO coz of late running)
PS: I have travelled SLN-LKO Stretch in 1 hr 45 min by Shramjeevi once!!

Thats y MGS-BSB-SLN/PBH-LKO Corridor is been developed!!
Further, CNB-Farrukhabad-Shikohabad too is Trunk Route & in future, that can provide link for CNB-BE-MB-ASR Route (Via Kasganj)!!
LDH-MB-LKO-GKP/BSB-GHY, MGS-PNBE/GAYA-HWH etc, can deconjest existing Trunk Route & Golden Corridor need not to be forget about!!
PS: Criss Cross movement can shatter train's speed greatly!!
Kindly...
